Bridge Owners
Protecting valuable assets for bridge owners and transport authorities.
Collision Protection
Installing robust barriers around bridge piers and abutments to protect against collisions from ice floes and debris, which can cause significant structural damage.
Ice Control
Designing and implementing systems to manage ice build-up around bridges and in key waterways to prevent ice jams that could impede water flow and stress bridge structures.
Debris Deflection
Setting up debris shields or booms to prevent logs, ice, and other floating materials from hitting bridge components, thus reducing maintenance costs and enhancing safety.
Structural Stability
Providing engineering solutions and modifications to improve the resilience and stability of bridges against ice-related forces and hydrodynamic pressures.
Navigational Aids
Installing and maintaining navigational aids such as signage, lights, and buoys around bridges to ensure safe passage for vessels in areas prone to ice accumulation.
Monitoring and Inspection
Utilizing advanced monitoring technologies to regularly assess the condition of waterway barriers and the impact of ice on bridge structures, facilitating timely maintenance and interventions.
Projects
A few of the solutions we've delivered to the hydro/power generation industry.
Ottawa River Diversion Boom
Design of a diversion boom on the Ottawa River to protect the Lemieux Island water intake from frazil ice.
Safety Booms in Calabogie
Design, fabrication and installation of three safety booms at Calabogie Lake capable of resisting ice.
Public Works Project
Design and supply of all components for booms and buoys placed in several locations in Northern Ontario.
